Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Fishful Thinking has a great activity (Favorite Photo Valentines) for you to do with your kids! Here’s what my kids did this week:
I let the kids look through some photos and asked them to pick a picture that made them happy.
Next, we cut out BIG hearts for Valentines.
They kids then taped or glued or stapled their pictures onto their Valentines, and then either talked about or wrote why that picture made them happy.
And then they decided who they were going to give their favorite photo Valentine to.
Reese decided to give her Valentine to her friend from school. I warned her that her friend might think it was strange to receive a picture of Reese’s dad, grandpa, and uncle holding a newborn baby brother in their arms. That didn’t discourage her.
Whatever makes her happy.

I was already a follower of your blog, but came across your post today by way of the Crowdtap conversation in which we both participated.
Happy Valentines’ Day!

Nice! Maybe her idea was just to remind him of how much HE should love Mommy, too.

That’s a cute idea. I can’t wait until my son is old enough to do crafts.

When he gets to be the right age, make sure to actually do the crafts. Mine are too old to be interested anymore. Youngest is 10.
